Threshold is a specialist project which aims to put a smile on the face of those for whom it provides a service. It does so by providing a range of services for adults with learning disabilities and/or an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), enabling them to be integrated and included in the wider community. This can involve access to colleges, libraries, social venues, shops, sports activities, churches and employment. Threshold aims to encourage the development of independent living skills such as cooking, personal care, travel, budgeting, and home and personal security. The project works in partnership with other professionals such as Speech Therapists, Social Workers, Nursing Staff, College Lecturers and Tutors etc., to develop consistent and appropriate support services. The support of parents and carers extends to providing short break opportunities in their own homes or within the community. .
